I've listened to practically every "accepted" essay on youtube. THIS, replete with all its extended metaphors and themes, is head and neck above the others! Truly a beaut.
Did you applied her advice and was able to get into any IVY league college every average Tom dick harry will think it’s a brilliant essay but the truth is there are thousands of more far better essays which get accepted by the college so keep searching
This is a really wise insight. Honestly you just got at the crux of what makes this essay (and college admissions in general) feel so huge. Trying to promote yourself when you still aren’t even sure who you are (or where you want to go or what you might want to do when you get there). Thank you by the way💛 I would say just take it step by step, and along the way you’ll find that you’ve actually learned a lot about yourself
Hi im currently sturggling with that exact same feeling!! Can i get an update how did ur essay turn out and how did you write when feeling like that and the resultss ivy league uni??
Finally, someone who doesn’t talk about traffic lights, walls, the floor, or something else like that. I feel like I can really connect with you and what you’re saying, so thank you so much!!!
lol i love how it’s a college advice video that doesn’t go over “hacks,” but rather ACTUALLY opens your eyes on what writing an essay about yourself means and needs !!! i really loved how you kept reminding that we shouldn’t dilute ourselves with the thoughts and ideas and essays others may be writing/have written. With so many edgy essays having made headlines or being thrown in our faces it becomes so difficult to focus on authenticity and writing how you yourself would want to write, and even makes it hard to talk about things that actually = you! And your essay is crazy!!! I was able to see (past) you in it as soon as you brought up worrying about if the flamenco dancer’s passion was too much!! That itself is creative- to show how our perspective and thoughts on things are unique and reflective of our own deepest thoughts, and looking into times we’ve been worried about something or happy or anything can convey who we really are too!
I’ve only listened to the first half of the video so far and it is the best thing I’ve heard since I’ve started this process. It was so well worded, really got me thinking, and made me feel better about myself.
This was the honesty I needed right now. My applications are due in a month, I have 40 pages of useless "brainstorming," and I'm so stressed out about finding the perfect topic. Thank you for being real; I feel like no one around me right now understands how stressful and aggravating this is!!!
This video is everything!! In the first half you completely summarized my frustrations with the idea of a 650 word essay and how challenging the ideation process can be. You are so well spoken and such a beautiful writer! I hope I can channel half the elegance and magic you wrote with into my college essay.
Man I’ve watched tons of videos, each with the same advice. BUT THIS..THIS FELT soooo much more genuine. Like I felt your introduction and you really put me in the position to want to work harder and get my essay done THANK YOU
I am speechless. I did not think that was possible. Everything about this essay is beyond flawless, which I didn’t even know was possible. I can’t even think of a word that will encapsulate the intellect of that essay and how that essay made me feel. I am speechless.
this essay is the best thing i have ever heard. so much better than the costco essay if you have read that one. this should get so much attention! i can feel the passion and interest through the screen. i am a junior in hs and am thinking about essay topics and this video was the only one that actually helped. thank you!
I've been doubting myself because of all the essays I've been watching on the internet, no one actually focused in the importance of being ourselves but the clarity you had make me feel like I truly have something to share.... You've actually put me in an intense vibe... Thanks a lot for sharing your essay... It's a pure masterpiece....
As a writer, that was beautiful. Genuinely the best written essay I've ever heard. So much symbolism and personality to unpack! I seriously cannot express how much i love this work ahhh it's beautiful!!!
haha i just submitted my essay yesterday and honestly I went through so much of the same experience. the moment i chucked all my expectations of achieving that college-worthy "spark" or trying to sound intellectual, my essay came out so much more natural and eventually came out so much better. next is just to cross my fingers for my results :)
i've been watching a lot of college essay videos on youtube for inspiration though i still haven't found it even through this. I never comment but i couldn't hold myself back from this. I just wanted to let you know this is one of the best essays i've heard out of all the essays i've already heard in the past. and i mean that great job really, it's princeton's lost
i've watched this video twice already, and it is incredibly helpful. you're so calm, which has helped even more because i'm so nervous about the whole process. thank you so much for your insights and advice :) your essay is SO beautiful btw!!
Beautiful essay, as always so thoughtful and in depth. I agree with Julia, in high school you have to stay as true to yourself as possible. Easier said than done when you are competing and comparing yourself with other people in your class. But really write what represents you in the best light. Being yourself will save you from going down a path you pretend to love.
Ive never been able to watch UA-cam videos about college essays, I was looking for THE video and I found you. My application deadline is Feb 1, and I still didnt finished my college essay. I was looking for something amazing about me that could impress. But when I heard you saying ''its not about what you're writing, but who is writing'' it hit me so hard. Thank you so much, now I know what my college essay is going to be about. I'd really would like to send you my personal statement to know what you're thinking about.
I don’t want to apply to any Ivy League schools, and I don’t really know exactly what I want to do in college and what career path I want to pursue afterwards. But I still want to write a great essay that I can be proud of no matter if I get into my dream school or not. You have encouraged me to write the best one I can, and you have given so much unspoken advice just by reading your essay, so thank you!! (The biggest thing for me about the essay is getting a good scholarship, so this helped a lot 🫶🏻)
Absolutely phenomenal insight and very helpful. It goes beyond a typical college essay advice video in that Julia takes the time to open up and offer anecdotal tips. Her sincerity is genuine and the audience can tell she really cares. Anyone seeking advice on these complicated, tortuous, yet necessary essays would do well to watch in its entirety.
After pulling out my hair all day trying to figure out why the way I was trying to spin my application essay felt in genuine and unfeeling, watching this felt like a breath of fresh air. Truly, I cannot thank you enough. I feel confident enough now to try and approach this without using a metaphor like "doors" or something (who knows, maybe I still will) and instead write something that makes ME feel spoken to. This is sublime.
i love how u expressed this with so much emotion, its what makes us human. i think we often forget how to connect with ourselves thru trying to curate these perfect cookie cutter admissions essays when really there is no right or wrong, we should write from the heart ♡
I am applying to colleges this year. There are so many college essay videos on youtube claiming that those essays "got them into xyz school". But honestly, I found your essay to be the most genuine, rich and beautiful of them all. Thank you so much for sharing your essay and the advice. I absolutely loved this video and it really helped! :)
A sincere thank you, for expressing what I could explain in my mind but struggle to put in words on paper. You’re essay is truly inspirational and one of a kind. I hope you’re future has great things in store for you, you definitely have the potential and ability as I listened you’re essay. Love and blessings from a Jersey native too :)
"It's not what you chose to write about, as much as HOW you write about it" 💯💯🌟 This is a truly amazing and beautiful tip to help with overthinking and obsessing about having the best story. To instead find the greatest meaning and explanation in anything no matter how small! This is so helpful, thank you!!!😄🙌🏽🙌🏽
Loved it! This is so useful for students applying to colleges and demonstrating their uniqueness through common app essay , where they can build their application and showing themselves in the story that they share with admission officers! I remember my time applying - if I had this video before, it would have helped me out with college admissions a lot
You’re advice is quite insightful and comprehensive on college admissions - especially at a time when the future of higher education at this moment is uncertain for aspiring students, enrolled students, faculty, and academics...
I am sending this video to all my friends that are applying & going to apply to college because this is the best & most wholesome advice I have heard since I started the application process. If I get into my dream school I will make a video like this and link your video in my video’s description.
Genuinely this is the first video that helped me. I’ve watched many videos and they have shared valuable information but it left me scared to start writing because I was conscious of everything I should include. Compiling my list of traits helped me start- thank you so much!
I’m usually a silent viewer but WOW! I’ve watching countless essay videos on UA-cam and your essay is absolutely sensational. I’m near the end of my application process and I relate to every advice you gave here (I nodded vigorously to all your points 😅). I felt to need to express how insightful this video is :)
This was amazing! I only wish I could write an essay as creative and profound as yours. How long did this essay take you to write? If others helped you proofread/gave you advice on it, who did you ask? Thank you so much!
Hey thank you so much!💛 My first draft was actually only a reflection on the dancer and weaver with no mention of myself at all! I wrote it pretty quickly, putting together ideas over a few days. It had been years since I visited those countries and it was almost like I had all those details and memories brewing in my mind for all that time, so once I started writing about them, I couldn’t stop. Sounds melodramatic but it’s true! Try to think of any moments or experiences in your life that make you feel like that. Your essay will write itself that way. About feedback - I think you have to ask for advice from people who actually care and you know don’t have any interest in being fake with you. I don’t think your peers in HS are the best to ask because 1) they are also trying to figure it out, and 2) the truth is nobody in your class wants you to have a better essay than them. You can’t even blame them. Like I said, college admissions is a stressful time and everybody is trying to figure it out themselves. People would rather put genuine critical thinking towards their own piece instead of yours. I had friends compliment my writing and tell me they liked it, but that would be the end of the conversation. It was nice to hear, but nothing constructive, and I would walk away feeling like there weren’t any ways to improve. (Spoiler: There were. Many.) If you have a fine relationship with your teacher, I recommend asking them to proofread and kindly let them know that you really do want their honest thoughts and revisions. Surprise them - show them that you truly care and value their input. Thank them for their time in advance. Now, I don’t know if your family is as blunt as mine is, but it was only when I asked my mom for her advice that someone actually gave me honest and constructive feedback that I could work with. She told me it was a cool short story, but not a college essay. I pushed back in the beginning, but eventually I realized she was right. That’s when I had to do the hard work of cutting out all the descriptive details that I could do without and instead grounding everything I wanted to say in my own life. That is what it means to write about yourself - mining for the meaning in your experiences. You only have 650 words after all, so make sure you strike a balance between showing 1) what happened and 2) what it meant. From start to finish, I would say I made changes and punched it around for over a month.
Honestly I really feel like am not good at anything at all and I can't even figure out hoe to express myself and write the essay but somehow this video made me feel confident and hopeful. Thankyou this was great!❤️
that essay was insanely beautiful. just wow. currently going through the essay writing process and i felt so lost before watching this video. Thank you!!
This Essay is the most beautiful I've ever seen. Even if it weren't you reading it, I feel like I could still hear your voice, and through the page, I would know you are the type of person that is pleasing to be around.
Hey! Your essay is just amazing!!! I’ve wondered how do you find such a subtle topic and how did you learn to feel this subtlety along with skills to write with a such a depth?
although I have already submitted my application, Im here again to watch your video your voice and the manner of speaking make me relax pleaseeeee start a podcast, if no one listen to it I will listen each of your podcasts a million time.
So touching, толкова трогателно.... Obviously not everyone can write great college essays but a great essay can come from anyone. We are in the middle of the college application process and after watching numerous clips, reading examples, etc, etc, my wife and my daughter "се просълзиха" for the first time, and perhaps the only time...
I never watched any of these until this week (orientation at my ivy) but lots of people were talking about and sort of wondering what got them in… what about their essay “worked” and it made me curious about it as well. I completed my app and essay with days to spare for the deadline and this was because I originally had no plans to apply for an ivy. But it was suggested so I gave it a go. I wrote my essay in one sitting and edited it for length and clarity over two days and sent it off to do its job. I think it was good… at least I was satisfied with it. I didn’t have any idea what to write about but I researched the school and decided to tell them why I was the perfect candidate based on the culture of the institution. I started with stating I was what they were looking for essentially. Talked about how two of my educators inspired me and changed the trajectory of my life as a student and then talked about the university and how I was a good fit and hoped they’d let me come and study there. I’m a songwriter so I’m used to making few words paint a larger picture. But basically I told them I love to learn, I hear they have dedicated educators and that I think they should let me come learn there. 🤷🏽♀️ I know my recommendations were great as well. I mean, I had the right credentials and felt the school was a good fit for me and just told them that. 🤷🏽♀️ I think all things bring equal, many ppl have the right credentials to get in, schools are not just looking for people ticking off boxes…. If who you are is the right fit and it comes through in your essay, that’s probably the best way to go.
I've listened to practically every "accepted" essay on youtube. THIS, replete with all its extended metaphors and themes, is head and neck above the others! Truly a beaut.
I second that, I was about to comment the same thing.
Did you applied her advice and was able to get into any IVY league college every average Tom dick harry will think it’s a brilliant essay but the truth is there are thousands of more far better essays which get accepted by the college so keep searching
I am here for anyone who needs help writing a common app essay or any essay.
I feel like I can’t even write an essay cause I don’t even know myself smh. Great essay
This is a really wise insight. Honestly you just got at the crux of what makes this essay (and college admissions in general) feel so huge. Trying to promote yourself when you still aren’t even sure who you are (or where you want to go or what you might want to do when you get there).

Hi im currently sturggling with that exact same feeling!! Can i get an update how did ur essay turn out and how did you write when feeling like that and the resultss ivy league uni??
What did you end up writing about?
Same
Finally, someone who doesn’t talk about traffic lights, walls, the floor, or something else like that. I feel like I can really connect with you and what you’re saying, so thank you so much!!!

Now I’ve finished the video and that was the best essay I’ve heard yet omg
You really put me in the mood to start writing
Best essay I've heard, hands down. It's not gimmicky. It's very genuine and has deep meaning. Beautiful! Thank you!
This was the honesty I needed right now. My applications are due in a month, I have 40 pages of useless "brainstorming," and I'm so stressed out about finding the perfect topic. Thank you for being real; I feel like no one around me right now understands how stressful and aggravating this is!!!

the best personal essay i've ever heard or ever will
I loved your essay! It was very well thought out and I really resonated with it, especially when you mentioned лютеница and баница🇧🇬
wow. amazing. i’m stuck on what to write on right now but i’m feeling inspired. thank you :)
you are such a good writer that I can't pinpoint a favorite line from your essay, your essay is truly a colorful finished carpet
I’m usually a silent viewer but WOW! I’ve watching countless essay videos on UA-cam and your essay is absolutely sensational. I’m near the end of my application process and I relate to every advice you gave here (I nodded vigorously to all your points 😅). I felt to need to express how insightful this video is :)
your first sentence of the video is incredibly relatable to me
This is poetry! Thank you so much for sharing.
this is the most beautiful thing i've ever heard. you are something else.
Your essay is like poetry. It's beautiful to listen to. Thank you for the advice!
holy crap... that was probably the best essay ive ever heard
Your essay is beautifully written, i don't know how ill ever write something that amazing
This is so well written and seems so heartfelt, especially in comparison to other college essays.
This was amazing! I only wish I could write an essay as creative and profound as yours. How long did this essay take you to write? If others helped you proofread/gave you advice on it, who did you ask? Thank you so much!

@@dreammeaname Wow! Thank you so much-your advice is going to be super helpful!
@@dreammeaname I've never received better advice about the college admissions process so THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Hey! Your essay is just amazing!!! I’ve wondered how do you find such a subtle topic and how did you learn to feel this subtlety along with skills to write with a such a depth?
although I have already submitted my application, Im here again to watch your video your voice and the manner of speaking make me relax pleaseeeee start a podcast, if no one listen to it I will listen each of your podcasts a million time.
Thank you so much! This is by far the best advice I've received from UA-cam, applicable and genuine!

So touching, толкова трогателно.... Obviously not everyone can write great college essays but a great essay can come from anyone. We are in the middle of the college application process and after watching numerous clips, reading examples, etc, etc, my wife and my daughter "се просълзиха" for the first time, and perhaps the only time...
this is amazing. passion and patience all day every day! thank you for this.
I never watched any of these until this week (orientation at my ivy) but lots of people were talking about and sort of wondering what got them in… what about their essay “worked” and it made me curious about it as well.
I completed my app and essay with days to spare for the deadline and this was because I originally had no plans to apply for an ivy. But it was suggested so I gave it a go.
I wrote my essay in one sitting and edited it for length and clarity over two days and sent it off to do its job.
I think it was good… at least I was satisfied with it. I didn’t have any idea what to write about but I researched the school and decided to tell them why I was the perfect candidate based on the culture of the institution. I started with stating I was what they were looking for essentially. Talked about how two of my educators inspired me and changed the trajectory of my life as a student and then talked about the university and how I was a good fit and hoped they’d let me come and study there.
I’m a songwriter so I’m used to making few words paint a larger picture. But basically I told them I love to learn, I hear they have dedicated educators and that I think they should let me come learn there. 🤷🏽♀️
I know my recommendations were great as well.
I mean, I had the right credentials and felt the school was a good fit for me and just told them that. 🤷🏽♀️
I think all things bring equal, many ppl have the right credentials to get in, schools are not just looking for people ticking off boxes…. If who you are is the right fit and it comes through in your essay, that’s probably the best way to go.
